I like the Bosch Icon wipers, although the inserts don't seem to last as they did in the past.

if it aint broken, why fix them? If they dont leave streaks behind (make sure they are clean first), then no need to replace them

I was reading about this and a lot of folks are just getting the refills from the dealer and seem to be very happy with them. I think they run around $5-6 each. These wipers are the best I've had in any car so I'll probably just stick with what I know works when it's time to replace.

They don't list them but they fit, like size 21/20 or something. I don't use them because they're expensive and didn't last very long here in Seattle.
